Woeith is me,This is a case where i can better show you than tell you.Other than the install is by the book.This is the result of the test script
that comes with the download?

CGI: [C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe prl.pl ] URI: /prl.pl Broken pipe
Bareword found where operator expected at prl.pl line 4, near "</head"
(Might be a runaway multi-line // string starting on line 3)
(Missing operator before head?)
Bareword found where operator expected at prl.pl line 16, near "</form"
(Might be a runaway multi-line // string starting on line 8)
(Missing operator before form?)
syntax error at prl.pl line 3, near "title>"
Search pattern not terminated at prl.pl line 19.
CGI: [C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe prl.pl ] URI: /prl.pl Broken pipe.

Funny thing is that the "runaway" error keeps moving to different lines.
Anyhow all I did was copy this into htdocs and the 500's started flyin.
I have read dozens if not more of the other posts but it seems like the
other folks with similar problems all solve it themselves without telling
how they did it, Ahrgg.I really feel like I am being a nuisance posting these
problems but if anyone can help it is you guys....TYIA

Well I have since parted ways with the file in question but I tryed a plan
'b' and am getting similar results.As you will probably gather this is straight
from a PERL tutorial site......
